Lap Banding In Belgium



Recommended Posts

Hello All!

I am seriouslly contemplating having the surgery in Belgium, and wondered if anyone else had any experience of going there for it?

Also is there any known issues with UK doctors performing the fills and post-op care once one returns home.

Does anyone know anything about the "french band" lowate AB produce also?

I'm currently 223lbs and would love this to be the tool to help me lose the weight I so badly need to.

Hope you are all having a good sunday.

Which french band are you referring to the french mid-band or the french heliogast band? I had the mid-band and would highly recommend it and I am considering getting another one over the Inamed. I hear great things about the Heliogast too. I saw the great deal in Belgium online and if the eurodollar wasn't doing better than the American, and the travel expenses weren't so much more than traveling 3 states down to Mexico I'd be considering it. I loved Dr. Frering in Lyon, France not a cheap as Belgium I think 6,400 eurodollars or somewhere close to that. Let me know which band you are talking about and I might be able to give info.

Best of luck

Hey there,

I don't know much about Belgium, but I'm thinking about going to a doctor in France. Called Dr. Anfroy. You might want to try www.euroband.org for some more info on doctors in Europe. I have heard good things from people who went to Belgium as well as France. PM me and I can give you some more info.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
